Thanks to Dad

I want you to tell me everythingTell me from the start.What started all this troubleThat stays there in your heart.I ask you lots of questionsMaybe I should not.I think Im getting somewhere But maybe I should stop.I really want to help youAnd say its not that bad.But looking right into your eyes All I see it sad.You begin to tell me somethingYou say it all began,Back when you were three years oldWhen you were just a lad.You lie there really seriousBut once again you choke .You’re scared to talk about itSo turn it to a joke.I wish that you would carry onSo I could understand. You know you’ve got a friend in meJust let me take your hand.How could someone abandon you4 kids all under ten?leave your mother helplessLost without a friend.How could someone do thatLeave you without a dad.Who was meant to guide you?Help you be a man?And it was from that momentI saw a change in you.Your face lit up with happinessI didn’t have a clue.You said that you were luckyBecause he never really left,with that you took your right handAnd placed it on your chest.You felt your heart beating And smiled and looked at me,'my dad is always with meHe’s here in every beat.Back when I was three years oldI wasn’t very well,My heart, it wasn't working,So now my story I will tell.My dad had one just like mineAnd his was working good,if only I’d have known.How could I have understood?That just before I went to sleepAnd said bye to my dad,That kiss would be the last oneThe last he’d ever have.He gave up his whole life for meWhat more is there to say?Apart from he is with meEvery single day.I never got to thank you dadI didn’t think you’d hear,but maybe I’ve been thanking youWith every fallen tear.So people say that Im unhappyThey say that I look sad.But they will probably never knowWhat happened to my dad.So like you said to me beforeIts just my heart that’s sad,All I think that’s left to say isCheer up dear old dad.'
